Patient Expectations
Your body absorbs some of the transferred fat, typically 20–50%, so Dr. Jones often places a bit more than needed. The correction that remains after that point is usually permanent.
What to Expect
Most fat grafting is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Jones makes a few small incisions, usually in the abdomen or inner thigh, to collect fat, then filters and rinses it to remove impurities.
The purified fat is carefully injected in multiple spots across the treatment area so it settles evenly. Bruising and swelling are normal, and most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days.
Who It's For
- Want natural-looking volume
- Want to enhance the buttocks, breasts, face, or lips
- Have scars or sunken areas from a prior procedure
- Have enough donor fat available
FAQ
Is fat grafting permanent?
About 20–50% of transferred fat is absorbed. The volume that remains after that is usually considered permanent.
Where does the fat come from?
Usually the abdomen or inner thigh, through a few small incisions.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to normal activities in 7–10 days. More complex areas, like the buttocks, may require avoiding strenuous exercise for a couple of weeks.
What areas can be treated?
Fat grafting can define the buttocks, enhance breast size, contour the jawline or cheeks, smooth the lower eyelids, soften lines, and add fullness to the lips.
